Seattle Parks and Recreation values the community's commitment and
support to our parks and green spaces. One of our goals is to actively
engage and build relationships with Seattle's diverse population. From
this page, we invite you to explore information on how to get involved
with Parks and to learn the best way to provide input or participate
in public processes. Do you have an idea for a park? Do you want to
volunteer? Do you need information on current projects?

The information or links on this page provide the information that
makes Seattle Parks and Recreation easily accessible to you. You'll
find a link to our volunteer opportunities page, information on current
and planned projects, our Public Involvement Policy, a link to the grassroots
Neighborhood Matching Fund, and a link to the Board of Park Commissioners,
who take public comment and consider Parks issues at their regular meetings
on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month.

The Planning and Development Division is finishing projects from the
2000 Pro Parks Levy and launching the new Parks Levy approved by Seattle
voters in November 2008.

If you have questions about a specific project, please refer to the
project page. You can contact the project manager listed on each project
page, or call the Projects & Planning reception desk 206-233-3872.
